Computing Research Association

The Computing Research Association is the organization represented by Carrie George in Fewer students are enrolling in computer science classes and majors. The Marketplace Tech episode uses its survey context to interpret shifts in computing enrollment across computer science, software engineering, information systems, computer engineering, data science, cybersecurity, and AI.

The association matters to the wiki as a bridge between student demand and research capacity. George says the organization studies pathways from undergraduate computing into graduate school and computing research, making the enrollment decline relevant not only to near-term hiring but also to the Computing Research Pipeline in universities and industry.
